Patient and kind employees. Ferry in great condition and short ride to the island.
Frequent engine problem, frequent service delays. But the staff manages to overcome the obstacles and find solutions. Mr. Bastien Vézina very efficient despite the rather weak management of the STQ (here as elsewhere!) where one feels the rather extensive paperwork (political appointments of leaders, without too much maritime expertise, seeking to avoid responsibilities!)
Modern little ferry takes you from L'Isle-Verte village to l'île-vetre the island. Capacity is 12 cars. Can take a full truck and trailer if needed. Check for schedules in and out as it travels irregularly due to the tides. Plan ahead and be sure to reserve early. The island is best visited on bicycles and on foot. There is no gas station there and services are minimal. Bring what you need. Dress for chilling weather even in the summer. Not too RVs nor motorcycle friendly road.
This ferry never sank before! It’s also brand new and it uses a hybrid propulsion system. There even are some refrigerated carts in which you can leave your grocery.
